XXIII

So Aulus spake, and turned him Again to that fierce strife¹； And

Caius Cossus mounted, And rode for death and life. Loud clanged beneath his horse-hoofs The helmets of the dead, And many a curdling² pool of blood Splashed him heel to head. So came he far to

southward, Where fought the Roman host, Against the banners of the marsh³ And banners of the coast. Like corn before the sickle⁴ The stout⁵ Laninians fell, Beneath the edge of the true sword That kept the bridge so well.
